New changes will make it easier to get your car licence in South Africa

The South African Post Office is making changes to its queuing and online systems which it says will make it easier for motorists to get their vehicle licences.

But they need 8.5 Billion to keep operating ..

• The South African Post Office can deliver the disc to the customer – at an affordable delivery fee

And this is the problem. Barring no system downtime, bad coding, most of us renew a license within the last 30 days. We need the license delivered in a couple of days, not months or years. So, this whole plan already failed before it started.

So wait, they are going to improve things by having a seperate queue, which every post office I've been to for vehicle license renewals already has?

The app sounds interesting though, but I doubt the October deadline really.

So far in Cape Town licenses generally get delivered quite quickly by the post office once they're issued by the city. Their online process is quite archaic, but even renewing within 30 days of the expiry date it generally arrives before that date. You have an additional 3 week grace period anyway.

"The service is offered in all provinces except the Western Cape. However, SAPO said that it expects to provide the service in the province soon"

Ooh I hope so!

Just imagine the positive impact they could have made if they designed a system which will automatically renew your car license each year, print the license, fold it, sort it into an envelope, seal it and have it ready for shipping by private courier. No human intervention needed.

The whole process gets activated the moment the public downloads an app or logs into an eNatis website, confirm the details on the system and make the online payment.

This would be an absolute game changer. No queues needed anywhere.

Not in a third world county with 35% unemployed!

The more hands... the better...

Yeah, true. This is why we will never have nice things here.

Pity they closed the one nearby post office that you could renew licenses at.

What a load of balderdash! The Post Office cannot even deliver mail.

In Pretoria you can just use the drive-through. 5 Min tops.

If you can get your car into SAPO, by all means be my guest
